Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Deep Baby N, 1/4oz fishing lure #21231

A vibrant green back fades into chartreuse sides on this Norman Deep Baby N, a staple for mid-depth cranking. Originating from the USA, this specimen carries the Product Code 21231 and features the signature black "kill spot" dot near the gill area. The 2" (5cm) body is designed to reach depths of 6-8ft (1.8 - 2.4 m), making it an effective choice for both casting and trolling along weed edges or rocky points. At 1/4oz (7g), it provides enough heft for accurate casts while maintaining a compact profile. The paint job remains crisp, showing a subtle orange accent under the throat that adds a touch of contrast to the bright finish. Inside the lure, an internal rattle system provides audible feedback during the retrieve. This particular lure is in excellent 5/5 condition, with the original hardware and clear diving lip showing no signs of wear. The hooks are sharp and properly sized for the frame, characteristic of Norman's reputation for ready-to-fish quality.
